“Nalychevo” is a nature park on the Kamchatka Peninsula (Kamchatka krai) created in 1995. The total area of the park is about 287 thousand hectares.
The park is located in the valley of Nalycheva River and is bounded by the chain of volcanoes. On the territory of the park there are a lot of hot and cold mineral springs with medicinal properties. Photos by Ilya Stepanov.
Flora and fauna of the park is very rich, a lot of animal and plant species listed as endangered are living there. Nature park “Nalychevo” was listed as UNESCO World Heritage Site December 6, 1996.

Such natural beauty in this largely unspoilt corner of our planet. First brought to my attention by Michael Palin’s travel programme Full Circle.
